Reading CGI script sources using /cgi-bin-sdb |
||
|
Searches for the existence of /cgi-bin-sdb/ Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The directory /cgi-bin-sdb is an Alias of /cgi-bin - most SuSE systems are configured that way. This setting permits a possible hacker to obtain the source code of the installed CGI scripts on this host. This is dangerous as it gives a possible hacker valuable information about the setup of this host, or perhaps usernames and passwords if they are hardcoded into the CGI scripts. Solution : In httpd.conf, change the directive: Alias /cgi-bin-sdb/ /usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/ to ScriptAlias /cgi-bin-sdb/ /usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/ Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: 1658 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2000 Renaud Deraison |
